يَسأَلونَ أَيّانَ يَومُ الدّينِ
They ask, “When is Judgment Day?”
يَومَ هُم عَلَى النّارِ يُفتَنونَ
The Day they will be tried over the Fire.
ذوقوا فِتنَتَكُم هـٰذَا الَّذي كُنتُم بِهِ تَستَعجِلونَ
“Taste your ordeal. This is what you sought to expedite.”
إِنَّ المُتَّقينَ في جَنّاتٍ وَعُيونٍ
The righteous will be in gardens and springs.
آخِذينَ ما آتاهُم رَبُّهُم ۚ إِنَّهُم كانوا قَبلَ ذٰلِكَ مُحسِنينَ
Receiving what their Lord has given them, for they were good doers before that.
كانوا قَليلًا مِنَ اللَّيلِ ما يَهجَعونَ
They hardly slept during the night.
وَبِالأَسحارِ هُم يَستَغفِرونَ
And at dawn, they would ask for forgiveness.
وَفي أَموالِهِم حَقٌّ لِلسّائِلِ وَالمَحرومِ
And in their wealth was a known right for the asker and the deprived.
وَفِي الأَرضِ آياتٌ لِلموقِنينَ
On earth are signs for the convinced.
وَفي أَنفُسِكُم ۚ أَفَلا تُبصِرونَ
And within yourselves—don’t you see?
وَفِي السَّماءِ رِزقُكُم وَما توعَدونَ
In the heavens is your sustenance, as promised.
